A Plea for the Livery Horse.

If Won hire horse at the EverV-
stable, You ought To treat him rs if he
were your own. If you drive out ten
miles, you ought not to attend 10 your
own wants until you sechim properly
cared for. If an honest man, You will
remember that you are under a twO-folG
obligation to that animal-an obli~a-
ton to its owner and an obligation 90
the animal. You are the debtor of
both, and though you pay the price of
the horse, yet no money can release
yo1l from the duty and moral claim
involved in the bargain between your
self and the owner. To neglect the
poor speechless beast, that can not ap-
peal in your tongue to the commiser;.-
ton of passer-by, is simply unpar-
donable, and the man who is guilty OF
such neglect is worse than a man. The
arrant infidelity of Balaam and his
sordid love of money, are secondary
crimes compared with his brutal abuse
of the ass which he rode, and the Lord
wrought miracle to secure allowed
remonstrance. We have but one in
stance in the whole bible of It dumb
animal speaking, and the miracle was
wrought to condemn the sin of cruelty
TO animals. OriedHS PicdyUHe.
